Fujitsu Lifebook T1010 Tablet Buttons no longer work in Win7 Ultimate

Question

I bought a refurbished T1010, which I love. Everything worked great until I upgraded to Win 7. Now the tablet buttons dont work, autorotate doesnt
work, and I cant figure out any other way to get my screen to switch from landscape to portrait. I've seen that other Fujitsus have this problem with Win 7. I tried downloading the Vista button drivers and button utility from the fujitsu website, but that
didnt work. I've seen that in some other Fujitsus, theres a super secret order to use when installing drivers, that much like the Konami Code, gives you 99 lives and makes all the buttons work.

If anyone has a step by step solution for my stupidity, that'd be way super awesome!

Does anyone think getting a different version/update of Win 7 would be helpful?

Yes, I tried using the drivers on their site. First I tried the Windows 7 drivers, they didn't work. Then I tried the VIsta drivers, they didn't work. Then I called Fujitsu support. They had me try all that again, didn't work. Then they said the best thing
I could do was to reinstall Windows Vista using the cd that came with my computer :(

While doing some internet research, there was another model of Fujitsu computer, the Lifebook U810 and 1010 that had the same problem. Someone found the fix by installing and uninstalling and reinstalling specific drivers in a specific order. Do you know
anything about something like this?

Click Start=>Control Panel=>Programs=>under Programs and Features select Turn Windows Features on or off. Then scroll down and confirm that the Tablet PC features category folder is checked. If yes, click on the folder and confirm all of the features
are checked. Select OK.

Fujitsu does have Windows 7 drivers, updates and utiliites for the T1010.

The "magic sequence" typically would be

1. BIOS

2. Chipset

3. Video Adapter

4. Ethernet Nic

5. Button controls\drivers(try the system extension driver and then utility here, before others)

Do I need to uninstall the drivers before reinstalling them? How do I get Windows 7 to let me install a Vista driver? When I try to do it, it tells me somethng like "No change was made because the driver was not better than the one already installed" or
something like that.

BTW i just checked and the Tablet PC features are checked, thanks for that.

The message actually says "The device driver installation wizard did not update any of your software for your hardware devices because it was
not better than the software you currently have installed."

Yeah I tried the WINDOWS 7 button drivers and button utilities and they didnt work. SO i then tried the Vitsa ones, and they wouldn't install because "The
device driver installation wizard did not update any of your software for your hardware devices because it was not better than the software you currently have installed."
